Claude Hale All Zeigler (Zeigler Livestock Britt, Ia) sold us a LAME mare AS IS as determined by 2 seperate vets Mayfield, Kansas

22nd of Apr, 2011 by User742073

Al Zeigler (Zeigler Livestock) told us the mare he was selling us was SOUND & on his website he says he sells only quality horses. We received the mare and the first time our 6 yr old rode her we noticed she was limping. Our daughter got off of her and we let her rest hoping that she had maybe bumped her shoulder/leg during transport. Our daughter rode her 2 days later and the same thing happened. We immediately called Al and he said to give her some bute and that should fix it. It didnt. We took the mare to the vet and we were told she was lame in both front legs from excessive use and had been lame for some time. This was an old injury. We called Al back and he was very upset and yelled at us telling us that we lamed the horse in 6 days by riding the mare on rocks that didnt exist on our property. We took the mare to a 2nd vet in a different state and were told the same thing. The mare is lame and had been lame for some time. Al also told us that the mare was 13 and both vets determined that she was well over 20 yrs old. We call Al on a regular basis for our money back and he keeps telling us we bought the mare AS IS.
I called animal control in Britt, Ia and they are VERY aware of Mr Zeigler. I didnt want to give the name but the person I spoke with said his name without me ever saying so.
We are out $1500 and our 6 yr old out a horse. He has said he has no intentions of making the transaction right.
